Finnish native Tuomas, who has worked in some of the most prestigious hotels and restaurants in Europe, West Indies and Asia, brings with him a wealth of experience. His journey began as a Commis at the Oxo Tower in London. Then, after working in various 2 star-Michelin restaurants in London, the Hassler Hotel in Italy and the Oberoi in New Delhi, Tuomas took over as Senior Sous Chef at Four Seasons in the Eastern Carribean. We look forward to Tuomas sharing his international background to bring fresh ideas and exciting new concepts to our culinary teams.

Taking over the helm of Fire & Ice Jan, a German national, will use his vast knowledge to enhance and upgrade the current menu offerings in this award winning restaurant.
